    I would say that it'd help so much if the ace characters would be explicitly acknowledged by the creators, but this doesn't always fix things.

Which are livings that are not guided by sex. Like @. Guys, just don't- fuck it what allos think, if they think it's weird that you have sex, that you don't have sex. Or for what reasons you decide to have sex or not, right?
